View Poll Results: Do you think the Counter Rule should state "4 or more counters"?

Voters

20. You may not vote on this poll

Yes, change to "4 or more" (challengers can't bring 4 or more counters)

That was obviously what I was afraid of. xD And I'm sitting here like, "Uhhh... should I go against the norm?" lol
Plus, I always become wary when I see Greninja. They're everywhere! *w*

Yeah...I don't really use Greninja anymore (I was kinda forced to use that team against you the first time because I beat Sito with it :/). If I do use Greninja, I try something different on it, like giving it a Choice Specs or something.

Also, thanks Shoveler I've been wondering how to do that for a while. Imma try it out

I'm undergoing some renovations to my team since I've had my head handed to me multiple times. I may need someone to help me test some things in the future, but for now my gym is closed for a few days.

I am too for that matter, although I'm not quite sure yet what to change. :/ If you'd like to practice and I'm online, hit me up anytime.

That seems to really have been quite the grand opening you had there! Bravo, SilverLanayru! As TheShoverler1887 pointed out, try and edit if you have multi battles. You definitely don't need a spoiler tag though (even if they were quite a few battles). Makes it easier for any other people to find it if they want to read through.

On another thread, I applied for the Ghost gym position. This is mainly because YOU GOT ME ADDICTED TO SABLEYE! :P But really, I love your team, though it does need a bit of work. Maybe when Hoopa comes out it'll be less than Uber so you can use it

Is it like 8 AM for you? If so, you wake up early o.o

Also, I was thinking about building some UU pokes and going through the league with teams of only UU and lower pokemon and trying to win the badges :P You know, shooting myself in the foot like a sane person

EDIT: You know, TheShoveler1887 is a pain to write out. How about we settle on Alex/Shoveler from now on? Makes it easier on everyone

Comments about the match: I keep forgetting to check if you have a counter team XD I went with it anyways because buck it, it's 4 in the morning and I don't really care :P I lost at the end thanks to missing Stone Edge. There were fun predictions throughout and it was a good game.

Lol. It's currently 10:30am for Cryuel and 9:30am for me. So cryuel posted that message at 9:08am her time. It's not that early tbh :P

I really want to build a UU team as well but I'm still waiting for smogon to release the damn tiers already before I do!!!!

Comments about the match: Didn't get a chance to set rocks up which would have made things easier but it all came down to you missing that stone edge at the end which cost you the win And cause there was no flinching garchomp this time as well :P Very close throughout again and well played.

Dex Entry: "Alolan Raticate gained the Dark type and used it to beat up local Alakazam and steal their mustaches. This explains both the clean-shaven Alolan Alakazam, and the luxuriousness of Alolan Raticate's 'stache"

Like LF mentioned, it was sometime past 9. What can I say, work calls. (I try to squeeze in some league maintenance during breakfast if I can).

I'm quite confident in my Ghosts and I think I've built quite a solid foundation. (It did take you a few tries to get my badge if memory serves right ). It's synergy with my extras to counter big hitters that's more my issue. :/ Sableye is quite addictive (and cute!!! ) though. If you'd like some Ghost practice, hex hit me up anytime.

Hoopa most definitely won't be Uber, given its horrid move pool and lacklustre speed. (Not to mention 4x weakness to Dark; it's just screaming for Knock-off mons ). It has a super interesting ability though, I'll give it that.

Challenger's name: The Mighty Tuma
Leader Type/Owner: Elec/Sito
Triad/Team used against this Triad: Mystic Thundercloud Triad/sharpedo,nidoking,arcanine,skarmory,espeon,manectr ic
Challenger Result: Loss 3-0(I think)
Rate your performance: 8/10
Rate opponent's performance: 8/10
Comments about the match:It was a good battle xD, was lucky killed espeon on the first hit, and sharpedo can be dangerous if left alone

Hehehe, it went 1-2-3 with how many battles it took for each challenger to secure the win :P
You made PokePnguin and Sito fight you 2-3 times to get your badge. I'm legitimately impressed o.o

Thanks! ^^; I noticed that pattern... kinda like a pyramid. xD
I'm just somewhat surprised with my recent performance. Especially since I've done a loooot of breeding this generation more than battling (outside of casual multi-battles/free-for-alls). lol
I may know a decent amount of stuff in the competitive side of things, but I'm usually battling just for fun~

Haha, thanks! And yeah, duly noted for next time. The only reason I used spoilers was because I was afraid my post might be too long after posting up those six results. xD

Anyways, I kinda overslept today. ^^;
The psychic gym still remains closed for the time being, as I'm doing some spring cleaning with my boxes.
(I will be opening later today... just depends on plans for tonight because I might be eating out for dinner.)
But I am itching to get started on challenging other gyms. owo

Comments about the match: Great game. The Great Tuma was pretty superior to me through out the entire match.

Oh wait, you're Nikolaj. xD
I noticed you tried to send me a battle invite earlier while I was closed and in the middle of spring cleaning. x.x; (Wasn't sure if it was for a gym battle anyway.)

And yep, it turns out I am eating out for dinner tonight after all. (I'm hoping, for a late birthday present or two, to also get Kirby: Triple Deluxe and place in my preorder for Mario Kart 8 while I'm out. >.<) So whenever I get back home from dinner, I'll open my psychic gym! ^^;

I'll make a quick reply to this before I get off my laptop. lol
Count me in~! I was also finally able to figure out my team in advance, so I think I'm nearly all set. All I know is that over half of my team, I never got to use as often yet. o.o
